Down to the earth introduction to real-time operating systems. The standard presentation uses FreeRTOS as an example, so you can get the book and study yourself the intrinsic details to deepen you knowledge. Among other things we explain different kinds of schedulers, what are processes, tasks, threads, interprocess communication mechanisms, difference between semaphores and mutexes, deadlocks and priority inversions and how to avoid them and rate monotonic scheduling analysis.
